When evening came, His disciples went down to the lake, where they got into a
boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. But now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them. A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. When they had rowed three or three and a half miles, they saw Jesus approaching the
boat, walking on the water; and they were terrified.
John 6:16-19
![Page 4: John 6 – A Tough Chapter for Jesus](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815f4a550346895dce26b3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
“It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them,
“Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s You,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to You on the water.” “Come,” He said. Then Peter got down out of the
boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind,
he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Matthew 14:26-30
![Page 5: John 6 – A Tough Chapter for Jesus](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815f4a550346895dce26b3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Immediately, Jesus reached out His hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” He
said. “Why did you doubt?” Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed, for they had not understood
about the loaves, and they worshipped Him, saying, “Truly, You are the Son of
God.”
Matthe 14:31-33, Mark 6:51-52

What strikes us as a possible sign of cultural dilemma is the gulf between technological optimism and literary pessimism. Amidst great scientific
achievements of which the human person should be proud, we hear some of the most passionate indictments against the human person as well as laments for the human
condition among literary artists.

Technocism:
The belief that any problem in society can be fixed
through advancements in science and technology.

Technicity• World hunger? We just need better technology to help us grow higher quantities of more nutritional food and better technology to distribute it.
• Crime? We just need to implement the technologies of security cameras and alarm systems, which will make us safer.

“The heart desires wonder and magic … technology is what man uses to supplant
the desire for wonder.”

“Miracles represent the common ground on which religion and science seem to make
rival claims … any belief in miracles if flatly contradictory not just to the facts of
science but also to the spirit of science.”
Richard Dawkins

“Science and religion can comfortably coexist
as long as they operate in separate realms.”

Why Not to Believe in Miracles1. A miracle is a violation of the known
laws of nature2. We know these laws through repeated
and constant experience3. The testimony of those who report
miracles contradicts the operation of known laws
4. Consequently, no one can rationally believe in miracles.

“If it might happen one day, then it could have happened before … if it happened in
the past, we call it a miracle, but if it happens in the future, we call it scientific
progress. Either way, it’s possible, not because nature’s laws are necessarily overthrown, but because we have no
complete knowledge of what those laws are.”

Why You Must Believe in Miracles1. A miracle is a violation of the known
laws of nature.2. Scientific laws are empirically
unverifiable.3. Thus, violations of the known laws of
nature are quite possible.4. Therefore, miracles are possible.
